• Models axed prematurely. 27 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  We've had therads on here about longest production runs and cars that lived on way past their obselescence. How about cars that were axed prematurely by their makers and deserved a longer run. My vote goes for the BMW Z3. Even now they look prettier than the Z4 and don't look dated.

• Smelly Car 2 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  What would cause a car (with CAT) to smell horribly like eggs after a high rev run. The run doesn't even have to be that long. I dont think its the fuel im using cause i've switched to different good brands, but the problem remains. It is ok if I dont use high revs that much.

• Peugeot 106 (1991 - 2002) - 2001 - 1100cc - very rough running in wet weather 10 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  - am going to tap that out in a bit. It runs well most of the time but when the weather is very wet it runs very rough - kangaroos, sounds like it's missing etc. My initial thought was Distributor cap / HT leads but it's a distributor-less ignition system with a rail. The spark plugs have not been

• Fiat punto running roughly. 6 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Tonight my daughters "P" reg Punto suddenly started to run very roughly, idling badly with no power when driving.
